John Boyd Thacher State Park, is situated along the Helderberg Escarpment, one of the richest fossil-bearing formations in the world. Even as it safeguards six miles of limestone cliff-face, rock-strewn slopes, woodland and open fields, the park provides a marvelous panorama of the Hudson-Mohawk Valleys and the Adirondack and Green Mountains. The park has volleyball courts, playgrounds, ball fields and numerous picnic areas with nine reservable shelters. Interpretive programs are offered year-round, including guided tours of the famous Indian Ladder Trail. There are over 25 additional miles of trails for summer hiking and mountain biking, and winter cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and snowmobiling.
Busy, busy busy these days. Work is non stop. Maybe I could have gotten out more since vacation but with inflation I’ve been cutting back so I have enough money to pay the bills.
Partly cloudy and 73 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a south breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 69 degrees. The skies will clear Tuesday around 6 am.
Last night absolutely poured. 🌧️ The rain really picked up around 3 pm, slowed around 5 pm for the evening commute then absolutely roared after dinner. I had some work to do but I put it off until this morning as it was much too wet to walk down to the library. 📚
I was hoping to do some packing last night ⛺ for the weekend trip but not with the rain. I can do it tonight that said there isn’t that much to pack besides clothes and food. I am probably going to bring the screen tent 🎪 especially if I camp at the site I normally do so I can establish the site even if I head into town to work or drive to a trailhead to hike.
I get home most night these days 🛌 and I’m just dog tired. I really don’t want to do much besides lay back, have dinner and go to bed. But I do still get up early. I was hoping to walk down to the library and then around the block to get my steps in but that rain was persistent and kept calling all day.

Good morning! Two more days of August left. Two more days that are on average 80 degrees.
Though it seems like summer refuses to kick the bucket. Though I’ll probably feel different when I’m heading to Spectulator before work for my Labor Day Weekend camping trip as summer winds down.

Out for the morning walk 🚶 and I’m just dripping from the sweat 😰. By Thursday it will be a lot cooler with a high near 74. Autumn is approaching. 🍁 Going to be warm again for the weekend but will be nice up north.
I was hoping to catch the express bus 🚏downtown but somehow I ended up running 🏃 late after my breakfast 🍳. It happens sometimes. So I’m taking the local bus downtown. It’s fine, I like the extra steps that I get in and the quicker ride on the express but it doesn’t matter.
Yesterday I finally got to Walmart 🛒 to get much needed groceries and supplies. Been two weeks since I last shopped so I really was pretty much out of everything.
Hot to close out August then a brief taste of autumn for the first day of September 🍁
